Stabbing of 11-year-old boy spurs protest in New Jersey

PERTH AMBOY, N.J. (AP) — An after-school fight between two 11-year-old boys that ended when one allegedly stabbed the other has spurred protests by parents and high school students who want leadership changes in their northern New Jersey district. Roughly 100 students at Perth Amboy High School staged a walkout Monday morning to voice their concerns. Several parents and community members gathered later in the day for a rally at City Hall. Both groups said they are concerned that district leaders have failed to address “unsafe conditions” in schools throughout the city. The Wednesday stabbing occurred on a city street shortly after classes had ended at Samuel Shull Middle School.
